## Resource

Flooding along the Kuskokwim River and coastal areas is mostly mild to moderate, with water spilling onto Joe Lomack Beach and into Alligator Acres in Bethel—thanks to strong southerly winds blocking drainage like a bathtub with a clogged drain. River levels peaked at 9.4 feet but are already falling, with forecasters confident they’ll keep dropping even as high tide rolls in. A flood advisory for the Kuskokwim Delta has ended, but a watch remains for the upper valley until Thursday. Coastal spots like Kipnuk saw waters 3 feet above normal, but no major damage reported. Light rain may slow receding waters slightly, but won’t worsen flooding. High tides hit earlier today; things should clear overnight into Wednesday as the weather system moves out.
